9 Brutal Video Games You'll Only Beat Through Repetition
4. Darkest Dungeon
Known for its unforgiving grind, Red Hook Studios' Darkest Dungeon tests a player's delegation and management skills through its gruelling repetitive gameplay. Recruit your adventurers, train them, and keep them alive. This all seems fairly easy, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart, or those who find themselves unable to start from square one after a great deal of progress.
Simply enter the words "Darkest Dungeon" into your web browser and you'll find countless stories of people painstakingly building their party and equipping them with high-level weapons and armor, only for their team to be suddenly ripped away from them because of something barely threatening like a spider or a skeleton.
Yes, the loss can feel like the universe is testing how close you can get to destroying your PC, but if you want to prove to yourself and others that you are a dungeon crawler to be reckoned with, play Darkest Dungeon and join the ranks of the less than 1% of people who have managed to beat the game.
Just be advised that you might turn into Vaas' "definition of insanity" with the amount of repetition that goes into this RPG.
